Re: What is your cage?
That's the Nissan Cube! Year? S or SL trim?
I remember when I first saw one on the road "What was that" (Exclamation point)
I never saw one up close but was always curious about them. Who knows, with it's odd appearance it may end up being a collectible
Are you happy with it (still?) let's here the pros and cons (please?)

Re: What is your cage?
2009 Cube the base model. Its got everything I need cruise, Power windows and locks, AC.
Pros- nothing today is like it, feels sooooo spacious, tall people car, very easy to get in out of, soft ride, easy to park, very wide front seats, armrest.
Cons- 25mpg overall, not sporty handling but who buys a cube for sporty handling? no full size spare
I just put a full size spare in the back, other than the MPG, its freaky awesome. I would choose a light interior the dark grey inside is kind of dreary.

Re: What is your cage?
Best car I've ever had was a 2006 Scion xB.
35 mpg everywhere.
Nothing had more headroom than these 1st generation xBs.
Plenty of glass.
Big rear seating area.
Underside stayed cleaner and more rust free than any car I've been under. ABS & traction control standard on all of them. Inexpensive to buy and own.
Consumer mags rated it a best used buy for yrs.
Drunk crushed it while parked last year.
Toyota totally lost the plot with the 2nd gen. models...but still a good purchase.

Sadly those cheap boxy cars are gone now probably forever due to car maker wanting aerodynamic designs which are are comfortable to me since the windshield is plastered on your face.

Re: What is your cage?
Here is my cage. Automajic and averages 35 US MPG in town and a consistent 43 on long road trips into the states. Not a hybrid... But a 2007 mid model LX with air, cruise control, power locks and windows.

Re: What is your cage?
Well, I finally replaced my poor little Hyundai Santa Fe that was totaled in 2015. I found a nice used Volvo V70 T5 wagon (5 cylinder turbo). It has 134,000 on it but drives and runs great. I have had two other Volvos in my driving lifetime and both lasted into the 250,000 mile range on the engines. My wife had an 850 turbo wagon very similar to this V70, and she really enjoyed it. We traded it in at 283,000 miles just because we wanted a new car. I have a friend who has over 600,000 miles on his.
I don't know why American manufacturers can't make a car that lasts like the European and Asian manufacturers do.(The exception being the BMW). I won't buy an American car. They look good, but every one of the ones I bought in the past turned into junk within 30,000 miles. If it wasn't the engine, it was the rest of the car. Some of the American built vehicles I leased were not worth the money I paid just to lease them. (Imagine a car that is in the shop every week, and you will know what I mean).

Re: What is your cage?
I hear you Mel. I'm not sure of the percentage on this Ohio built Civic, but my 1996 was 93% made in the USA (the highest of any car sold in the USA that year). I bought that 1996 new and just sold it 2 years ago. Not even an alternator change by the time I sold it. Same goes for the other 3 Honda cars I've owned with a combined mileage of over 1.4 million miles. Sadly one was lost due to being hit and totaled by a drunk driver at only 142,000 miles(but it did is job as I'm still around). I still miss that Integra.
With 3 of my siblings we have had a combined total of mileage in Honda cars ranging in the 5 million area with extremely few repairs beyond maintenance. Another sibling sticks with domestic name plates and even doing most all repairs himself he can't afford to keep any past around 100,000 miles. So he changes cars seemingly all the time in comparison.
